Abstract:
Chronic diseases continue to contribute to the leading causes of death in Missouri, and behavioral health plays a key role in their management. Patients receive most of their healthcare in primary care, suggesting primary care providers may serve an important role in the patients' chronic disease management and the behavioral health sequalae. This paper overviews the behavioral health impact of three chronic diseases impacting Missourians and reviews evidence for behavioral health interventions for each disease.
